are going to dip in a press conference. jim harbaugh the 49ers head coach is talking at the podium. let's see what he has to say. >> this fires me up. i'm very fired up this morning to get over there to the saints facility with our team and practice and so many good stories along those lines. >> how big of a challenge is it just to keep this a normal wednesday practice? >> i don't know. it could be an exceptional one. it could be an extraordinary wednesday for us. that's our intent and expectations see if we can't make this the best wednesday of the entire season. >> jim, can you recall as best you can the conversation you had with your brother when you were looking for a defensive coordinator at stanford and started to talk about vic sanjio? what was that like? >> the history of that? >> yes.

>> when i first met vic through the ravens, so impressed talking football with him. every time i visited there it was great to talk with vic. i'm sure that two years before we got vic, we were looking for a defensive coordinator that i asked vic 23 he would come to stanford and be the defensive coordinator and he declined. the following year he declined again. >> jim harbaugh the coach from the stanford brought a lot of coaches to the 49ers. jim is tightly wound seems to be letting loose a little bit because he wants his player to relack at the super bowl. i think you told me the harbaugh brothers might have dinner tonight? >> yes. they might have dinner tonight. i don't know if they are going

to discuss football. they may want to kept that separate until after the big game on sunday. but yeah, it is a friendly brother sibling rivalry. we'll see. let's get back to the weather here. it is starting to get dark here. we see the clouds really moving in. the wind is picking up. and we're starting to feel a little raindrops. so i think we're going to see the storm, lawrence, probably in the next couple of minutes. >> you haven't heard any thunder or seen any lightning just yet, michelle? >> no. the sky looks a lot different from just a few minutes ago. i want to show you a shot of the sky right now. it is dark. >> oh, yeah. >> it is dark and those clouds are really moving in so i know we're going to be hit good with something. >> this is very impressive on our doppler radar. i'm looking at this line of severe storms that's now approaching you. so get ready. i think by the next time we talk to you you're going to be getting soaked pretty good here. check that out. all the yellows and oranges and reds, that's moving into new

orleans right now. and that is going to produce some very heavy rainfall as the system moves on by with the gusty winds and the possibility of lightning strikes too. so going to be a wild half hour or so as the system slides by. quiet in the bay area, clear to the coast. 30s, 40s and 50s. this afternoon milder, 50s and low 60s yesterday, today probably a good 2 to 7 degrees warmer. how long will this nice weather stick around? we'll talk about that coming up. right now let's check the roads with gianna. >> thank you, lawrence. we have some mass transit delays to report. ace train number one is about 7 minutes late. so just a little slow not too bad though. looks like they will hopefully get back on track shortly. the rest of mass transit on time. bart, muni, caltrain no delays. through the altamont pass, we are seeing a few brake lights out of tracy into the livermore valley. 20 minutes now as you work your way towards 680. so give yourself some extra time. in fact, the rest of the east

bay not doing too badly. outside of 580, northbound 880 through oakland no delays. your eastshore freeway commute looking good from the carquinez bridge to the maze. that's an easy 19 minutes. but you are tapping the brakes westbound 4 through antioch. looks better into pittsburg and no delays towards the eastshore freeway. that's a look at your morning drive. let's go back out live to new orleans where michelle is. all right. it's not all about partying and football in the big easy. actually santa clara police officers are here in town learning something from the police department here. cbs 5's cate caugiran has more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, michelle from santa clara. now, once this new stadium opens, crowd control will be a new issue to tackle for santa clara pd. so the department is keeping a close eye on the future not just with the 9ers move but bringing a super bowl here in 2016 before that can even happen the city needs to prove

it can handle a massive event. santa clara neighbors agree that this is a good move for the police department. >> depending on the culture or rivalry it can get rowdy. so i think definitely getting down there and seeing what the culture is inside the crowd, to keep fans and family safe and create a thank youture that families want to come out to. >> reporter: two officers, a sergeant and lieutenant, will be paid to go to the super bowl training session. a former police chief will go but he is paying his own way. the training session comes at at good time because they are tackling mardi gras and super bowl crowds at the same time. so it's a good time to take in that -- [ signal breakup ] live in santa clara, cate caugiran, cbs 5. >> hopefully sometime soon the 49ers will host one in santa clara. okay, michelle. i know you have been in the french quarter the last couple of days but you did a little traveling yesterday, didn't you? >> yes, we did. we actually went to uptown which is up the river and this is one area that was not affected or not flooded by

hurricane katrina. and i'll tell you, they take a lot of pride in their neighborhood. >> when the tourism department does commercials, they normally show line the downtown french quarter area. but they tend to leave out some of the more important neighborhoods that surround the city. my name is terrence higgins, born and raised here in new orleans. and right now we're uptown. mixed incomes, mixed ethnicities. you can walk two blocks that way and you'll be like in a higher scale neighborhood. and two blocks that way and be just a little bit of the ghetto, you know. i mean, the demographic here is wide. and it didn't flood in this area during katrina. this is like high ground. so it's almost like the safest place in new orleans. people are souping it up as fast as they can. so if you can find like some old house for a cheap price, it behooves you to snatch it and

renovate it and property values gonna skyrocket. so it's a vital part of the city, man. people don't really get to see it, you know, so and the historic part, too. it's got a lot of history. so this is another part of new orleans. >> reporter: that's hard to not see as much devastation as other parts of new orleans. in fact, that gentleman that we spoke to, he said the value of his house has tripled sense hurricane katrina and a lot of people are moving into that area. nowk frank, i have to tell you, we have seen the weather really shift right where we are in the heart of the french quarter. we have seen it shift probably in the last three minutes. this storm is coming. it just got cold. the wind is picked up. and you can see those dark clouds moving in. it's actually starting to rain now, too. that's why we had to relocate to an area where we are covered because that rain is coming down. >> i got to tell you, michelle,

i am looking over at the hi-def doppler right now. it is completely orange over the city of new orleans. so you are just minutes away. and there it is on command. a big storm that is barreling into new orleans right now. so batten down the hatches. it's on its way. we'll check in with you in a couple of minutes, michelle. thanks so much. back here in the bay area now, 6:09, san francisco police are taking a new look at a cold case that involved a child who disappeared nearly 30 years ago. the renewed search sent officers to the haight-ashbury neighborhood. they are searching around a house on masonic avenue near page street there. and cbs 5 reporter anne makovec is on the scene with what neighbors remember about the time kevin collins went missing. >> reporter: good morning. there were some bones found in the duplex behind me. they are animal bones but further analysis is necessary. 10-year-old kevin collins was seen a block from here on the way home from school in 1984.

witnesses say he was pushed into a car with two teenagers. police aren't saying why they have renewed their search for kevin but we do know cadaver dogs found bones under the concrete floor of the garage in the duplex. police say a man who lived in the house at the time matched the description of a man seen talking to kevin. that person has since died. but we spoke to a neighbor who knew the two men who lived here back in '84. >> i don't know if they did. i don't know. but i'm just saying that they were investigated by the police since kevin was taken. they had the dog, a black dog, and they were taken to be questioned and they were let go. >> reporter: police say the people who live in the duplex now are not suspects. kevin's mother lives in concord. she says these developments have her simply numb. the fbi is continuing to work the case.

stats was huge. obviously alex is frustrated but to have kaepernick it's amazing. people galvanized around him as a team leader and let's see the 9ers go all the way. >> aisha knows her football and loves kaepernick. i have to tell you though, look at this weather. this is a big difference from just a few minutes ago. you can see that the rain is really coming down. and this was in the forecast. that's exactly why we had to relocate here where we are under an awning. so we're good and covered. but the rain is coming down. we're now hearing thunder. we have seen lightning. the wind is picking up. and the temperature has considerably dropped. it's now cold out here, lawrence. >> yeah. you know what? i think in the next half hour or so you will see the worst of it. behind that the good news is you have that high humidity in the deep south that storm system moving on by should be a little more refreshing by the latter part of the afternoon. still we are looking at the storm system sliding on through and yeah, it is producing some

heavy rainfall now in new orleans. it will continue to dump there with some thunderstorms erupting and well, then we'll get on the back side of that and things will calm down. around the bay area, though, nice and clear skies outside. all the way to the coastline. plenty of sunshine in the afternoon. the temperatures going to be a little warmer. and some mild weather really right through friday. but we have some rain that we put back in the forecast. jet stream moving well to the north. temperatures mild into the afternoon. flying out of sfo, not bad. no delays expected. houston 66. 50 denver, snow in chicago 39. showers in new york at 55 degrees. around the bay today we'll see those numbers as high as 63 in san jose, 64 campbell and 60 in san mateo. east bay temperatures 61 degrees in livermore, 60 danville, 64 in the napa valley. 64 also in santa rosa and about 60 degrees in mill valley.

be. i guess what that say about southern hospitality welcome back. 6:23 here in the bay area. a couple of hour difference in new orleans where it's raining now. i think it's obvious with all the work that you've done there, michelle, that southern hospitality is alive and well. the people there just seem great. >> frank, the people here are just so wonderful. they are so inviting and accommodating. it's unbelievable. and our field producer wilson walker is going to make his tv debut now. we're going to talk a little bit about our location here. we had to relocate because of the storm. how did you get us on this balcony? i came late so -- >> when rick and i left the hotel this morning, we had no idea where we were going to be, no idea at all. so we go past where we were set

up yesterday. everything is either knocked down or taken down. we rolled up to this hotel, walked up to the desk and said listen, we're in trouble. do you mind if we just stand on your sidewalk give us an extension cord we'll stand out there? two minutes later they walk up and say, we have a room for you upstairs. and we get this. >> that's really how it's been our entire time here, right? just so accommodating. >> amazing. i was born in the south. i spent the first 28 years of my life in north carolina. i know something about southern living and southern hospitality. but the degree to which everyone here has been accommodating and helpful and gracious and genuinely nice to us has made an impression that i cannot even relay to people. >> you were out shooting and you got invited to somebody's house. >> you're walking through the streets shooting video. people ask you up to their home, feed you food, do you need the bathroom, anything to drink? with all of this going on in this town this many years after the hurricane, i think everyone

in this country could come here, see what this town has done and learn something about what you can do if you pull together, put your heads together, get in gear and make something happen. the movie industry that we talked about, the business revival we talk about, the neighborhoods we talked about, it's made a tremendous impression on all three of us. >> s i agree. this is our first time, wilson's first time and my first time and my photographer rick villaroman's first time in new orleans. we are pleasantly surprised with the hospitality. we love new orleans. coming up we'll tell you how business is booming in the crescent city especially with the film industry. >> i'm mike sugerman on the road to new orleans in amarillo, texas taking the 72- ounce steak challenge. i get this free if i can eat it all. i can hardly hold it. story is coming up. >> a lucky few of santa clara police officers are super bowl

mallicoat. >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald. good morning, it's wednesday, january 30th. i'm frank mallicoat. >> and i'm michelle griego live in new orleans in the heart of the french quarter. we had to relocate today because of this storm that is just hitting us right now. you can see the rain is really coming down. i'm drenched as it is. yesterday was a humidity. today it is the rain. we're actually hearing some thunder out as well and some lightning. this is forecasted -- lawrence

was telling us this was going to come, he was telling us yesterday it was going to come this, mo. now, we have been coming to you live from jackson square the last couple of days. and, of course, bus of this storm, we had to make a contingency plan. we are here now at the hotel sonesta on this balcony. it is a covered balcony so that's great. it's really helping us try to kept a little bit dry. but the rain is still coming in. and you can tell that it is really coming down. i'm looking down at the streets actually and water is starting to accumulate but they have a very good gutter system here. so the water is just accumulating a little bit and it's starting to head out. but boy, can you hear this rain coming down, frank? >> i was going to say hi-def doppler does not lie. you can't see the picture but it's all orange over new orleans right now. but let's talk about football, shall we? i know yesterday was media day a crazy day, fun and games. they are now starting to talk

about football. jim harbaugh was on the podium not too long ago and i guess he is letting his personality out a little bit. new orleans is having a nice effect on the 49ers coach. >> i think so. how could you not? it's such a charming city here. so jim harbaugh has not been smiling very much but at the news conference today, he was and here's what he said. >> everybody is attacking this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. every coaching room is aglow with video on from early this morning. it was really fired up. >> he's actually going to have dinner with his brother tonight we hear. i don't know what they'll talking about. right now we're talking about weather. lawrence, you said it was coming and here it is. >> michelle, i thought i was jealous enough the fact that you were going to the super bowl, new orleans and now you have rain and thunderstorms?

that's exciting! >> i know. you love this stuff. >> i do. i'll tell you what, you are right in the heart of it right now. check out our doppler radar and you can see it is coming downright now across new orleans as you can see the storm system really dragging on through. so michelle in the heart of the system now. and it looks like it will take about another half hour and start to slide on by her even on the back side of this, still some showers. but it should begin to let up a little bit. in the meantime, we are in for a great day in the bay area. clear skies over the bay and looking good. the temperatures not too bad this morning. we have a couple of 30s in the valleys but 40s approaching the coastline and almost 50 degrees in some spots out toward the beaches. by the afternoon it should be a milder day not a bad day with some 50s and low 60s. today 2 to 7 degrees above average. how long will that last? we'll talk about that coming up. right now let's check the roads with gianna. >> reporter: thank you, lawrence. it is a slow ride as you work your way along 580 westbound right now. you can see in our live shot towards the dublin interchange, extra busy headed westbound not

too bad though on the eastbound side in this area but just east of there we have reports of a serious injury accident as you work your way eastbound 580 right at greenville. it is blocking the left lane. one vehicle did catch on fire so we are seeing some delays as you work your way to this area. that's eastbound 580 at greenville. chp is working to clear this out of the way. of course, westbound slow and go out of the altamont pass towards 680. ace train number one about 10 minutes behind schedule should be hitting great america parkway in the next few minutes. the rest of mass transit is on time. 880 not too bad. traffic is backed up to the maze. the metering lights are on and slow up the incline at the bay bridge toll plaza. that's a look at the morning drive. let's go back to a rainy new orleans where michelle is standing by. >> reporter: all right, gianna. thank you so much. well, the 49ers move to santa clara is still more than a year away but it is not too soon for them to start preparing for the masses of people expected to flock there on game day and

that is where cbs 5's cate caugiran is. >> reporter: some of the santa clara police officers are going through training sessions and this is a good time as any to learn from the new orleans police department. they deal with mardi gras every year but now you throw in the super bowl in the mix and there's one big crowd. now, santa clara's police department did send two officers, a sergeant and lieutenant. a former police chief is going as well but he is paying his own way. now, the hope is these officers can take a page from the big easy's police force on crowd control. this is an issue not familiar within santa clara's borders. but once the 49ers become the city's newest neighbor, with that will come tens of thousands of fans and this department wants to be ready. >> new orleans has done this many times. those guys are sharp. that's why we're sending people there, to learn from them. >> reporter: in addition to preparing for the 9ers move to the city, city leaders are also

hoping santa clara can be the 2016 super bowl host. but before that can even happen, the city does have to prove that they can handle these massive crowds. reporting live in santa clara, cate caugiran, cbs 5. >> thank you. and michelle, i guess you're on a horse and buggy ride, you're shooting a feature going through the french quarter and lo and behold you look over your shoulder and george lucas is out for a little morning stroll. right? >> frank, of all people to run into, not only is he a bay area native, but he's also probably the most famous moviemaker there is. and we were doing a story about the movie industry so he was the guy to talk to. now, i have to tell you, no wonder why moviemakers like to make films in new orleans. it has all the charm of san francisco and business is booming here in the industry, so much so they are calling it hollywood south. with hit shows like hb owes'

tremay and oscar nominated django unchained new orleans is becoming known as hollywood south. >> something to be really proud of. >> reporter: movie projects here more than tripled from ten years ago thanks to a tax incentive for moviemakers. >> the people coming in to make movies here are basically just tourists. >> reporter: and that is from a man who knows something about making movies. we ran into george lucas walking the streets of the french quarter. he says hollywood projects do bring in money, but it doesn't last. >> all it does is help the merchants, which is a very good thing, make a lot of money. but if you want to get local talent, acting, camera, you know, directors, writers, bringing people in from hollywood doesn't help you at all. >> reporter: to do that, the city is trying to localize as much as it can with stage and post production facilities. >> when a movie comes to new orleans, everything they need it here.

props, costumes, crew, camera houses are here. >> all of this armor up here oopses came from the movie alexander. >> reporter: wingate jones opened his costume shop 18 years ago and is booked for 90% of projects filmed here. >> my hope is that it extends well beyond that and that the term hollywood south becomes more of a reality. >> reporter: and business really is booming here. now, 10 years before that -- 10 years ago before that tax credit, they had 16 projects a year come into new orleans in the film industry just last year they had 61. so they are doing pretty well, frank. >> i should say. okay, michelle. thank you very much. 6:37. back here in the bay area now, san francisco's mayor plans to take a stroll with the police and the fire chiefs later this afternoon. mayor ed lee is going to the mission district to talk about ways to cut down on drinking on super bowl sunday this weekend. the mayor will start his walk at 21st and mission streets.

the police chief greg suhr and fire chief joann hayes-white will also join mayor lee. 6:38. there may be some new clues in a cold case in san francisco. police spent hours yesterday digging at a home just a block from where a 10-year-old boy was last seen 29 years ago. cbs 5 reporter anne makovec is in the haight-ashbury neighborhood with the renewed search now for kevin collins. good morning. >> reporter: things have calmed down at the home here behind me. that's because the bones were deemed likely animal bones. but the police department says further analysis is still necessary. 10-year-old kevin collins was last seen about a block from here at a bus stop on oak street on his way home from saint agnes school back in 1984. witnesses at the time say he was pushed into a car with two teenagers with mohawks. police aren't saying why they have renewed their search, why they have a search warrant for the house here. but we do know cadaver dogs did

find bones beneath the concrete floor of the garage. >> the concrete was removed by several -- and several bones were located. the san francisco medical examiner's office did respond to evaluate the bones. at this time, under preliminary investigation, it's determined that these bones are believed to be of animal remains, not human remains. >> reporter: police say a man who lived in the house at the time matches the description of a man seen talking to kevin that day. but that person has since died. police say the people who live in the duplex now are not suspects in the case. the fbi is still on it. we'll keep you posted. live in san francisco, anne makovec, cbs 5. >> thank you. 6:39 now. the long road to the super bowl brings up a big appetite. we are going to check in with mike sugerman on his attempt to tackle a giant 5-plus pound texas steak. good stuff. and the market opened backup 10 minutes ago. it's been on a tear. let's take a quick check of the

meteorologist lawrence with a check of weather. good morning, and welcome back. it's 6:43. let's take you out to the bay bridge toll plaza right now where traffic is stacked up almost to the maze at this point. metering lights are on, slow and go conditions as you work your way through there. also, we are monitoring a sig alert, a traffic alert along the altamont pass. as we jump to our maps, you can see slow-and-go conditions in both directions. this is due to an accident involving two vehicles one vehicle fully engulfed at one point. we are now learning from chp that there may be one fatality in this accident. so we are going to try to launch chopper 5 to get a better look at this incident.

but in the meantime, eastbound 580 at greenville at least two left lanes are completely shut down because of this accident. we have delays in both directions. westbound 580 slow anyway because of the morning commute. but again, seeing more delays especially as you approach the scene even on the westbound side because of the accident. so again eastbound 580 at greenville two left lanes are completely shut down. this is being reported as a fatal accident right now. at least about another hour, hour and a half until any of these lanes open. so expect delays as you work your way through there. elsewhere, westbound 4 we are seeing brake lights, as well. you can see traffic slow and go as you work your way through antioch. it's better into pittsburg. no delays once you hit the eastshore freeway. 880 also looking good this morning. northbound still an okay ride through oakland. southbound no major delays to report through oakland. 16-minute ride between 238 and the maze. you're going to see a few brake lights though once you hit the hayward area. now, eastbound 92 at el camino real we have an accident through this area. looks like one lane is blocked
